Just bought the 2014 limited wonder if there's anything I should be looking out for
-
There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My wife got her last May, left over brand new. There was one recall, gas cap and also do your first service at 600 miles. My dealer told me it changed to 3000 miles which is wrong, I spoke with BRP, it's 600 miles follow maintenance in your owners manual. We just replaced rear tire only lasted about 6000 miles put on Kumho Ecsta AST. I just changed her oil last week, very easy and order filters from Baja Ron if you do it yourself. I was gonna do rear tire myself until when I looked at it I figure the $80 they charged me was worth not having to deal with belt drive, making sure I adjusted it right, etc. Just ride and have fun!

Service intervals: we are talking about two separate engines here.
The 990, two cylinder requires first service at 600 miles. Then at 4,500 mile intervals.
The 1330, three cylinder requires first service at 3,000 miles. Then 9,500 miles later (12,500 miles) OR once a year--whichever comes first.
The OP is talking about a 2014 ST, which is the two cylinder variety. :thumbup:

Another word of advice. Don't let them sell you the valve check service recommended at 14,000 miles. It will cost you $800 or so additional. The valve checks are mostly not needed. Dealers know this, and sometimes charge for doing the service even though they do not touch a wrench.
I did the service at 14K on one :ani29: and 28K on another. Neither needed any valve adjustments. I am not even considering it on my final two cylinder until at least 50K--if then.
The newer 1330's do not require periodic valve check maintenance. :yes:

We run into a lot of posts here when the dealer causes big confusion on service intervals. You would think they know the difference between the two cylinder and the three cylinder. I can attest that several do not.
The manual that comes with the :ani29: does have the correct intervals, but most of us don't get into that fine print unless a need arises. It is scary to me that some dealers don't know diddley about service intervals. :thumbup:

Totally agree with you, that's what we did relied on dealer went to make 600 mile appointment and was told we didn't need it to 3000 miles. Well they were wrong as I spoke with BRP and confirmed it's 600 miles. You would think dealers know about there products that they are selling and servicing??
